High North Resources Ltd. announced the start of their 2014 Montney oil development drilling program at the company's Girouxville-Mclean property. The company's fourth well 08-21-076-21W5M, located on the northern portion of the company's property, commenced drilling on May 22, 2014. The drill location is adjacent to a section of land which a neighbouring oil and gas producer has applied to drill four Montney oil horizontal wells on.

Currently, coring of the target formation has been completed and management is encouraged by the presence of hydrocarbons. The company's fifth well located at 08-02-076-21W5M is scheduled to commence drilling in early June, 2014 and directly offsets a neighbour's Montney oil well which reported a 30 day Initial Production rate of 360 barrels of oil per day. High North's Girouxville-Mclean property is located in Townships 075 to 076, Range 21 W5M, approximately 320 kilometres northwest of Edmonton, Alberta.

The Company holds a 100% working interest in three horizontal wells producing 28 degree API oil from the Montney Formation. High North now holds a contiguous block of lands comprising 20.25 sections with current drilling, directly offsetting significant production from a neighboring oil and gas producer.
